History[edit]
Public Gardens also known as Bagh-e-Aam (Bagheaam) or Bagham. In Urdu "Bagh" means Garden and Aam or "Aam Jana" means "the public" was built in 1846. during the period of the Nizam's. Post-1980 it started being called as Public Gardens.[5] The area of the park was 54 acres (220,000 m2) and included a 7 acres (28,000 m2) pond. Part of the land was given to the railways for building Hyderabad railway station. A portion of the garden was used to construct Jubilee Hall in 1905 and part of the pond was filled up. Gradually the area occupied by the garden reduced as several buildings such as State Legislative Assembly, State Museum, Jawahar Bal Bhavan, Indira Priyadarshini Auditorium, Lalitha Kala Thoranam, and Telugu University were constructed. A large fountain existing in the public garden lawns since 1937 was demolished in 2019 for celebrating Telangana Formation Day. [6]
